Vitamin Angel Alliance ~ http://www.vitaminangel.org/aboutus.html

A great organization I recently came across is seeking to provide people in need with essential vitamins, especially children.
"Vitamin Angel Alliance, a non-profit, non-sectarian organization, was created in 1994 to fight malnutrition and childhood blindness around the world.Initially we began working in partnership with Direct Relief International, a disaster relief and medical assistance organization. Vitamin Angel provides health education and nutritional supplements to individuals, families, and communities that are medically underserved or at risk of a specific condition or illness.
Nearly one quarter of all humanity-1.4 billion people-live in absolute poverty with incomes of less than a dollar a day. Because of this extreme poverty, about one person in seven-857 million people total-is chronically undernourished."


Vitamin A is especially essential for children's healthful growth and maturation. A lack of Vitamin A can cause blindness, severe illness and even death. Vitamin Angel is working to provide tens of millions of children with dietary vitamin A. Check out the site and see what you can do to help.
